Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens

This is the older version of this lens (the newer one is a 70-300), I have had it for about a year and use it mostly for aviation photography. It is quick and accurate on focusing, and stays sharp well into the 200mm range, but does go a little soft as you get closer to 300mm. I have used the IS feature a few times in low light situations such as my brother's graduation, and while I am glad I have it I have learned not to rely on it too much as it only improves camera shake by two stops. There are only two complaints, this is a heavy piece of glass and can take it's toll on your neck if you have it mounted to an EOS-1 or EOS-3 even with out the booster. My other complaint is that this lens is a "creeper" if you have it hanging from a strap the lense can bee pulled from 75mm to the 100mm position by its own wieght. Even with these two concerns, it is a great lens and worth every penny.

This lens is great product for up close action shots at kids sporting events. Would not own my camera without this lens!!!

Fantastic Lens! Wonderful optics. Steady and provides super close ups. Easy to use... just flip the switch and turn it on.

The Lens is a n excvellent addition to my system. I have been able to get nature and wildlife shots that prior to having this lens were much more difficult to get.

This is a great lens. It works like a dream. I bought it because it was hlf of the retail price advertised in stores.

I got the lens just as soon as I paid for it, I drove to winter haven fl. to pick it up and it was just what he said it was and I love the lens, I am in the market for another close up IS lens must be 2.8 .
Thanks idigcycles2

This is a very nice lens that works great. No problems, and very stable. I practiced with 2 moving cars when I first got it. The photos were clear and precise on what I wanted.

I'm not sure what you want. I ordered 3 of these lenses, the first one did not work. The gentleman gave me my money back, the second one was great. The third one got lost by the Post Office and I am still waiting to get my money back. The person said when the Post Office sent him the money, He would send it to me. So it is still wait and see. I am honestly nervous about ordering anything else of value.

I bought this lens immediately before the new version (70-300mm)came out and have never regretted it. It was considerably less money and the older image stabilization works fine. Two stops leeway is not as good as three, but it is still pretty darned good. It can be a terrific buy, but some bidders on eBay have pushed this lens up to prices close to the newer version, perhaps not realizing that it is the older lens.

It is a wonderful lens, and I received it very quickly. We have used it often and it has done a excellent job.

This buy was exactly as described and excellent. I asked for a delay shipment and item was shipped on the day I requested. this was a very satisfactory experience.

I recently purchased this lense. It has been great. I have taken some beautiful pictures with this lense. For the price this is one of the best lenses on the market.

I recently opened a photography studio. Looking to save money, i turned to ebay just to review prices. The quality, quantity, and price could not beat by local stores in my town...so i decided to build my shop through ebay. Purchases include lights, gels, stands, umbrellas, and backdrops. The best, and most pricey item i bought was my Canon EF 75-300mm lens. It was the most perfect buy- the seller was excellent, the price was right, and the lens arrived just a few days later. The body of this used lens is in excellent condition, and after seeing the prints it helped me capture, it is in great working order. The image stabilizer(IS) and the ultrasonic motor(USM) have helped me eminsley during the weddings and other important shoots that i've taken this lens to.
Great buy, great experience, great ebay...
